Gun Control Laws Assault Weapons
1,776 words
The Gun Control issue has sparked major
controversy in America today. People who support
gun control feel that guns are the reason for the
soaring crime rate in our country. I disagree with
the supporters of gun control. I feel that because
of the black market, violent criminals being
released from prison early, and the need to ensure
personal safety, stricter gun control will have
very little impact on violent crime in America. I
believe that gun control works in theory, but not
in real life. S...

sexual assault of a female child by a male member

Child Sexual Abuse Violence Against Women

... al family relationships and they see the
sexual abuse as secondary. Child sexual abuse is
not seen as a crime but as a family problem. Thus
this approach is not victim oriented, instead it
focuses on the functioning of the family. This
approach also displaces the responsibility of
abuse from the abuser to the whole family, and
most frequently to the mother. The dysfunctional
family model looks at every one in the family as
equal, but there is no equality between parents
and children. Like th...

Violence Against Women Alcohol Abuse

... womens victimization may inaccurately
represent possible threatening or dangerous areas
and therefore appears to be a shortcoming of these
findings. Odds of victimization were found to be
higher for those who have taken a self-defense
class or take personal precaution by carrying some
type of weapon. An explanation for this may be
that these were the precaution measures taken
after a woman had been abused. Women are more
likely to become victimized by someone they know

Law Abiding Citizens Day Waiting Period

Gun Control: Overview The issue of gun control has
been debated for a long time, probably ever since
they were invented. The gun is a small, rather
easy to obtain, weapon that is lethal if used in
the right (or wrong) way. This makes the gun an
extremely dangerous factor in our lives. If used
improperly, a gun could be lethal to not only the
target, but the user as well. The availability of
guns has sky rocketed in the past decade or so,
and the immense population of guns in our society

Assault Weapon Ban Background Checks

The problem with guns is fairly obvious: they
decrease the difficulty of killing or injuring a
person. In Jeffrey A. Roth's Firearms and Violence
(NIJ Research in Brief, February 1994), he points
out the obvious dangers. About 60 percent of all
murder victims in the United States in 1989 (about
12, 000 people) were killed with firearms. Firearm
attacks injured another 70, 000 victims, some of
whom were left permanently disabled. In 1985, the
cost of shootings was an estimated $ 14 billion
